So i just got back from a Friday nite serivce, and the question was asked by Pastor Ron Sydney who am i? And it got me thinking, can i truly define myself? As a seventh day adventist young person I often struggle between the person i think i am, the person i want to be, and the person that i can be. You see I know that there are lots of adjectives that i can use to define myself. I am a woman, (well some where between girl and woman i think i now know what Britney was talking about) and that comes with certain features some i like; some i absolutely despise. I also hold certain beliefs many of which conflict, but as a young person i guess this is the transition that i am in huh? The thing is, as i have grown, i have come to realize that i hardly ever fit in a box, and tho that is sometimes cool, it is also quite lonely at times as well, i never feel like i have clearly defined peers. I realize that i so dont want to be a part of something that everyone else is a part of even if its ...

Boy, wow, when i was dying to watch this movie i never thought that it would completely change the way i viewed the dynamics between men and women the way it has. Now, maybe its cause i really feel like that girl Gigi, you know the girl who is obsessing about this guy, and is basically spending every waking (and way too much sleeping) moment thinking about him, what he;s doing, what he did, wat he’s planning on doing, but wow this movie completely opened my eyes. Now, maybe i should start this from the beginning, ok, so ive had a crush on this guy since my freshman year, he;s really hott, and he always seemed like a cool guy to hang out with, however he is a girlfriend guy (reference: I love you, man) and so we’d never spoken passed hello. Then now in my last semester of my senior year we get a class together! Can you imagine how excited i was when i realized that he knew my name? And then we started sitting next to each other in class and stuff, and i realized that we had a bit of ...

Ok so, Im taking West Indian History this semester, and its such a different experience from what i was expecting. For one thing, i thought that it would be nothing more than a bunch of facts just thrown together, nothing emotional, concrete or detailed, but i’ve come to a rude awakening. The truth is, it has been quite the experience, but maybe i should start from the beginning. Ok, so i am St. Lucian, i have always been very content describing myself as nothing more or less than that, i always believed that saying i was west indian or st. lucian was enough. I never thought that saying that i was of African descent, or african american was ever important, and let me tell you why. I am from St. Lucia, my parents are lucian, one set of my grandparents are lucian, and the other are bajan, the truth is all have known is the west indian culture, and the truth is, that is what i identify with the most. There is a vast difference between my values, and the values of the africans from who i ...

So last nite i was watching house md (the greatest medical drama ever, if not the greatest tv drama ever) and i got incredibly excited when he spoke about the SDA church, now although he was basically saying that we are not more than disillusioned followers of a man who failed to predict the coming of Christ accurately. And i was so excited, this was the first time i've ever heard the Adventist church mentioned in popular culture, and i know some of my friends (migs you're not alone) are offended, but i was incredibly happy. We've made it! Dude they make fun off all the other religions out there, and now they're making fun of us too, and it feels good. I honestly believe that there is no such thing as bad publicity, and we're getting known, i mean the next step people will know exactly who House is talking about. And honestly isn't that the point of it? I mean a seed can be planted by the most unexpected means, and i think that even that one episode of house can generate some kind of ...
